Here we revisit WASP-5, an “ordinary” extrasolar planetary system,
discovered by the SuperWASP collaboration [1]}. The
system harbors a single planet with a main sequence host, akin to our
Sun. So far, no other planets have been reported in the system, although
there are contradictory results concerning the origin of the transit
time variation of planet b [2]}, [3]}.
Based on the followup work of [4]}, the main system
parameters are as follows:
\(R_s/R_\odot =1.029\) , \(M_s/M_\odot =0.960\) , \(T_{eff}=5700\)  K,
\(a=0.0267\)  AU, \(R_p/R_J=1.087\) , \(M_p/M_J=1.58\) .
These parameters imply an equilibrium temperature (assuming
zero albedo and full heat redistribution) of 1740 K [5]}.
The orbital period is \(1.6284300\)  d, derived in this paper from the
combination of the earlier epochs and those resulting from the
analysis of the data from the TESS satellite [6]}.
